You need to edit the ptc.opt file at the license server.

 

MAX_BORROW_HOURS
MAX_BORROW_HOURS feature[:keyword=value] num_hours
Changes the maximum period a license can be borrowed from that specified in the license
certificate for feature. The new period must be less than that in the license certificate. If
multiple MAX_BORROW_HOURS keywords appear in the options file, only the last one is
applied to feature.

 

feature

Feature this borrow period applies to. The license certificate
for feature must have BORROW enabled.

 

keyword=value

Feature name modifier to denote a group of licenses. See
“Feature Specification” for details.

 

num_hours

 

Number of hours in the new borrow period. This value must
be less than that specified in the license certificate for feature
(the default, if not specified, is 168 hours

Hello Wladimir,

Thank you very much for your help. Following the instructions from the file you suggested, I do change the days. For example, Creo's default is five days (Borrowing Period in Days), but my client wants to reduce it to 2 days. Using the environment variable, I managed to do it, but my client would like to lock it at 2 days. I see that if the professional wants to change the days, they can, and the IT team wants to lock it at two days and not be able to change it. Is this possible?
